▎ 摘  要

Grain boundaries with dangling bonds (DBGB) in graphene are studied by atomistic Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations in combination with density functional (SIESTA) calculations. The most stable configurations are selected and their structure is analyzed in terms of grain boundary dislocations. It is shown that the grain boundary dislocation with the core consisting of pentagon, octagon, and heptagon (5-8-7 defect) is a typical structural element of DBGB with relatively low energies. The electron energy spectrum and magnetic properties of the obtained DBGB are studied by density functional calculations. It is shown that the 5-8-7 defect is magnetic and that its magnetic moment survives after hydrogenation. The effects of hydrogenation and of out-of-plane deformations on the magnetic properties of DBGB are studied.
